The era of each LCI village council across the country to print its own stamp or stamps is soon coming to an end. This is because many LCI executives have been abusing the right given to them to make their own stamps.
Many LCI executives especially chairpersons, vice chairpersons, and secretaries have been holding different stamps for the same village council. This has made them to sell property for more than once.
The habit of LCI chairpersons or members to sell plots of land more than once is so rampant in Buganda region and some parts of western Uganda .
However the issue of LCI executives of the same council holding different stamps has reached the ministry of local government. So the local government minister, Adolf Mwesigye says that the ministry is planning to use sub counties, divisions, town councils and municipalities each to print official stamps for LCI executives.
